A
thoughtful and provocative collection—in the vein of the intellectual spiritual
classic The Weight of Glory—from N. T. Wright, the influential bishop,
Bible scholar, and bestselling author widely regarded as a modern C. S. Lewis

An
unusual combination of scholar, churchman, and leader, N. T. Wright—hailed by Newsweek
as “the world’s leading New Testament scholar”—is not only incredibly
insightful but conveys his knowledge in terms that excite and inspire Christian
leaders worldwide, allowing them to see the Bible from a fresh viewpoint. In
this challenging and stimulating collection of popular essays, sermons, and
talks, Wright provides a series of case studies which explore how the Bible can
be applied to some of the most pressing contemporary issues facing us,
including:

Why it is possible
to love the Bible and affirm evolution

Why women should be
allowed to be ordained

Where Christians
today have lost focus, and why it is important for them to engage in
politics—and why that involvement benefits everyone

Why the Christian
belief in heaven means we should be at the forefront of the environmental
movement

And much more

Helpful,
practical, and wise, Surprised by Scripture invites readers to examine
their own hearts and minds and presents new models for understanding how to
affirm the Bible in today’s world—as well as new ideas and renewed energy for
deepening our faith and engaging with the world around us.
